Where can you see him going mate? He has done a splendid job and won't be short of offers, he would probably take Jimmy Nicholas with him i would imagine.

I think either a top Championship Club, or smaller EPL Club.

What he done for us is amazing, and certainly been noticed.

That said, we could get fucking Italy or the like in the play offs, Russia is by no way guaranteed.

Aye, there's a decent buy out clause, though buttons for any of the English Clubs. Talk of him going to Hearts ect was always pish, just cause he lives in Scotland. He's an astute guy, intelligent, knows his worth.

He'll bide his time until the offer comes that suits him, no chance he would go to Hearts to have the creepy bastard Levein looking over his shoulder.

That was a Leicester like performance tonight (when they won the league) 28% possession 2 shots on targets, boom 2-0, brilliant.

Why would he take the Scotland job surely he is more ambitious than that

It's not so outlandish, despite the shambles of the SFA - the Scotland job is still considered a big post in European football. He lives in Edinburgh and knows the Scottish game, so he may be tempted. Of course, I'm basing this on pure speculation from pundits from last October. So you are probably correct, there will be bigger jobs for him if NI make it to Russia.

It will be due to the other teams that finish second, having a look at the possible second placed teams at the moment, then it is likely that NI will be unseeded as it is not an open draw. If Scotland take the Slovakian place, then they will be useeded as well. So they cannot met NI. Of course, the table below will change tmrow night as well - probably looks likely that Denmark will take 2nd over Montenegro in October.

This is what it says above where you lifted that table, is it not more about who gets into the play offs. I can't see where it says any team will be seeded in the play offs, i've never heard that anywhere. I could be wrong, but it would be news to me -

Ranking of second-placed teams[edit]

At the time of the draw, groups H and I had one team fewer than the other groups so it was announced that matches against the last-placed team in each of the six-team groups would not be included in the ranking of the second-placed teams. UEFA has confirmed that, even after the admission of Kosovo and Gibraltar and with all groups now containing six teams, this regulation has not changed and matches against the sixth-placed team in all groups will still be discarded.[25] As a result, only eight matches played by each team will be counted in the second-placed table.

The eight best runners-up are determined by the following parameters, in this order:
